' IMPROVEMENT IN SCARFS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 197,657, dated November27, 1877; application filed October 26, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CHARLES C. NOYES and DAVID W. NoYEs, of Boston, inthe county of Suffolk and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Scarfs, which improvement is fully setforth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in WhichFigure 1 represents the shape of an ordinary neck-tie shield, the dottedlines indicating the shape of the scarf-shield formerly in use; and Fig.2 represents the shape of our scarf, the dotted lines indicating theshape formerly in use. I

The object of our invention is to furnish a device by which the scarfmay be made to fit nicely about the neck, and leave no uncovered spacebetween the vest and collar, even with a standing collar.

In the drawings, A B B A C D D C is an ordinary neck-tie shield, withthe two ends A C and A C much extended beyond B I and B I, thecorresponding ends of B B I J J I, which indicates the shape of thescarf-shield formerly 1n use.

F E B B E Fis the outline of the upper portion of a scarf, which has thecorners F E B extended beyond lines drawn from the points B to thecorners F. The form of scarf heretofore in common use is that shown bythe dotted lines B H, and they have also been made with a shape for theupper portion corresponding with the letters F B B F; but in all casesthe upper side edges of the scarf have been limited by lines from thepoints B B-that is, by lines corresponding to B H or B F. The edgesE Bform a continuation of the curveB B.

It will be understood from the foregoing that, when the strap L isplaced around the neck and the scarf adjusted, the corners B E F will bedrawn partially aroimd the collar, and'the curved edge E B B E will fitnicely about the neck, and that the ordinary neck-tie shield will form aproper support for the extended corners of the scarf.

It will also be seen that a marked distinction is made between neck-tieshields and scarf-shields, and such distinction has always existed,because the neck-tie shield is not at all adapted to the shape of thescarf formerly in use and we do not claim any improvement in theordinary neck-tie shield.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent 1. The combination of the scarf, as improved bythe extended corners F E B, with the ordinary neck-tie shield,substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. The improved scarf, constructed with the extended corners B E F, asdescribed, and for the purpose set forth.
